I don't think its as mutually exclusive as you make it sound. Personally, I think showing that there's a bunch of Linux users interested in buying and running games in general is helping out the Linux gaming scene, regardless of whether its a native port or not. We need to shortcut the chicken-and-egg problem of not having enough marketshare and I think Proton and Steam Deck have been instrumental in doing that and getting developers to even be aware of Linux. It's a slow and steady march onwards, but I firmly believe one day we'll have enough marketshare to start demanding native ports from non-indie game devs.
